this thing is awesome...the lights and turn signals work as well as the winch...the winch is controlled by remote control and is powerful enough to lift the car off the ground and this aint no featherweight car..it has the upgraded more powerful rock crawler motor in it and while it won't do 40MPH it will almost climb a vertical wall...super sticky tires...

The hannibal tent cover even has simulated dust over it...

Where did you find that?
I WISH it was quite as simple as that...it has been 4 months at least in the making and I think we have kept a divion of the english postal service in business single-handedly...:Wow1:.. A very good friend of mine has a son who needs to be occupied all the time and he loves building remote control cars, I saw one of these on a you tube video and simply HAD to have it...:wings:..so a deal was made and the process began..Yes, the details are great and not yet finished..unfortunately my friend was the one who had to do the finishing and more intricate details and many spy missions were conducted to copy my vehicle... unfortunately there is not alot of camel trophy stuff available in miniature form... but I half jokingly told him to get cracking on building another one and we may build the correct camel rack, brush bar etc etc... its not as if I don't have enough to do already...
